WESTERN Australia and Queensland may be the heart of the resources boom but Australia's wealthy still call New South Wales and Victoria home.

New figures, released by the Australian Taxation Office as part of the 2013 edition of taxation statistics, showed that in 2010-11 the NSW postcode of 2027 was home to the highest earning individuals in the country.

The average taxable income for people living in the suburbs of Darling Point, Edgecliff, Rushcutters Bay and Point Piper was $203,271.

The list of top ten postcodes by income was dominated by suburbs in NSW and Victoria, with two Western Australian postcodes coming in at seventh and ninth place.
